9/28.  Great fishing.

9/29/2026

 
We had been hearing lousy reports from the commercial guys since the big storm passed through and we were wondering if the season might be ending.

We ran 40 miles SW and had six in the box within the first 10 minutes and it never slowed up much.

We chased birds and jumpers all day and left biting fish with 65 tuna.

There were jumpers and birds everywhere.

It looks like there is still quite a bit of fishing left this season.

9/26 slow full moon fishing.

9/29/2026

 

Full moon fishing can be good or it can be terrible.

A big storm came through and it was our first day back on the water, which also makes it hard.

We ran NW and trolled around for hours without a strike until we finally found a few and put 6 on the deck before we called it a day.

9/24.  Plugged and then some.

9/24/2026

 
The guys went back to the same spot and after hunting around for awhile they had 30 plus fish stop to end the day with over 40 fish.

Some were monsters and most were regular sized tuna.

We are sitting out the big wind event tomorrow and headed out again Saturday.

9/23.  Lots of smaller fish, but not many monsters.

9/23/2026

 
The same crew went right back where they left them.

There were tons of smaller (8-10) tuna but only one jumbo.

The crew ended up with 43.

Tomorrow is our last charter of the year and then we are sitting out the big wind for a few days before we head out for a few crew trips.

9/22.  It got better.  WFO.  Foamers.

9/22/2026

 
When I did not get a text from the guys this morning I knew that they were into the fish big time.  

They headed back to the same spot with a crew that has plugged our boat many, many times and today did not disappoint.

The saw a patch of foamers and it went WFO.

By 11 they had filled the boxes and a kill bag with around 48 tuna.

The big mass of fish headed north finally showed up, a buddy did 300 fish this morning.

If the weather lets us fish, the next two weeks should be amazing.

If anyone wants one or two seats, shoot me an email at [email protected] and I will see what I can do.

The guys and the crew are headed out again in the AM.

9/21.  Amazing.  Plugged by 10.

9/22/2026

 
We ran SW around 40 miles and stopped short on birds.

It was game on right away and by 10:00 both boxes were plugged with monsters.

The commercial guys are on a huge mass of fish that is just a little south right now but moving north quick.

It looks like the best part of the season is yet to come.

9/19 live report.  WFO.  Amazing

9/19/2026

 
Today was the best day of the year.

SNB was plugged by noon.

Legendz is on a 2 hour, 80 fish stop.

Pretty much every sport boat was plugged today.

The wind is blowing tomorrow, but we will be out there on Monday.

9/17 & 9/18.  Slow then great fishing.

9/19/2026

 
On 9/17 the wind was blowing hard so the guys were forced to run north, which has not been good to us lately.

They ground out 8 monsters and saw lots of life, but the wind made fishing hard.

Friday was a totally different story.

Legendz called us in and we were into fish right away.

We put around 45 of the smaller grade in the boxes and then ran to a spot SW and closer to home.

Right away we hooked one on troll and I got hammered reeling in a troll rod.

The ocean blew up with boils and pretty soon we were all into the 28-32 lb monsters.

We landed 8 and lost of few (it is a whole different game with fish this big) and were beyond plugged with 50 plus fish.

We left biting fish and got in early.

Every boat we talked too crushed it.

As of 10:15 Saturday morning the guys had 14 fish on the deck and 2 hanging.

Better late than never, 2026 is finally paying off.

9/15.  Plugged plus.

9/15/2026

 
Darrel and Craig headed back to the honey hole and it started out a little slow but came on strong (bite has been late virtually every day this year).

They plugged the boat with monsters.

Pretty much everything right now is on bait, chasing birds and jumpers.

This season was brutal but is a ton of fun right now.

Better late than never.

Great fishing. Plugged with pigs.

9/15/2026

 
We are finally seeing back to back days of good fishing.

9/13 was super solid fishing and not quite plugged with a huge grade of fish so we went right back to the spot and were not disappointed.

On 9/14 we ran into birds and foamers right away and were into fish.

We ended up the day sliding in a big pile of birds and fish and ended the day with 32 giants.

28 fish plugged the boat, which is a new record for lowest number of fish to plug the boat.

The fish we weighed were all above 25 with most pushing 30.

Let's hope it keeps up.
